Wa5373 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Brilliant kids can't play football on streets actually heard a woman on Clyde super score board other night that the council closed down a 4g football pitch where all the young kids trained because residents were complaining of the noise kids were making no wonder Scotland can't get to euros and world cups if our future of our teams can't play the game !!

Granny Danger Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The sooner someone removes the 'No Football' signs from Tannadice the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Nosejob Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm taking all the credit for this one... If we really want to improve our football, the first thing we should do is get rid of all of these signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P45 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 We're stuck in the past with our approach to football so to solve it we go even further back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Its a noble gesture, but I fear its too late, kids nowadays just want to f**k around on computers/games consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mancubus Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Its a noble gesture, but I fear its too late, kids nowadays just want to f**k around on computers/games consoles. Same old excuse trotted out all the time, it used to be watching tv. Germans spend more than the UK on video games yet they have a decent standard of footballer, we need to stop being lazy and blaming TV/Video Games/Lazy kids etc. and start providing opportunities for kids to get out and play football, so good on Aberdeen council for making a start, hopefully other organisations will do something similar, and then take it further .

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 ah reasoned debate, care to explain? So what you're saying is games consoles/pc's have nothing to do with kids not wanting to go outside and kick a ball around? I don't remember 'watching the tv' excuse either, plenty of tv when I was a kid, and everyone was out playing football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancubus Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 so not utter shite then, just difference of opinion, only I backed mine up with a fact that germans spend more than the UK on video games, http://www.newzoo.com/free/rankings/top-100-countries-by-game-revenues/ , albeit with a larger population but still UK spend is 55.34 per capita and Germany is 44.27 with France spending 37.85 per capita, all three spend similar amounts but we are the only ones struggling to produce young footballers. Where are the facts saying that video games prevent kids from becoming good footballers, aside from lazy journalists suggesting it because they can't be arsed investigating the cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Do the signs really stop anyone playing football though? Being from the countryside I was never affected but I would have played regardless of the signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti Niemi Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 The culture of chapping on your mates' doors and getting them out for a kick about definitely seems to have gone. Blame the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
